Big Texas Ultra
The Big Texas Ultra is a two-day endurance event held on the Lake Georgetown Rim Trail in Georgetown, Texas. The event uses the Russell Park Trailhead as the start and finish area and follows a 15K out-and-back trail plus a 50K loop option that begins and ends at the same trailhead. The course surface is a mix of rocky trail, jeep road, and a short road section used by 50K loop participants. Historic average temperatures for the event are listed as 50 to 74 degrees.
Distances offered:
- 15K (Friday)
- 15K (Saturday)
- 50K
- 100K
- 15K RUCK (Saturday)
Elevation gain is reported as about 700 feet for the 15K out-and-back and about 2,300 feet for the 50K loop. Aid stations provide food and hydration and the course is fully marked and supported. Organizers do not provide single-use cups; participants should bring their own water-carrying system. Pacing is permitted only for the 100K on the second 50K loop. Ruck weight requirements are specified: 30 lb for runners over 150 lb and 20 lb for runners under 150 lb; rucksacks or vests are allowed.
Event gear and awards include finisher medals for all distances, a long-sleeve shirt, a ruck patch, a 100K finisher silver belt buckle, and championship awards. The 100K Championship offers prize money for top places and multiple qualification paths based on placement or time standards within designated Texas Ultra races.
